"Chessa's Doom," a concise narrative crafted by Peter M. Schweighofer and visually enhanced by illustrations from John Paul Lona, is a unique piece. What makes it stand out is its blended approach, using both written prose and wordless comic-style artwork to convey the story. Its initial appearance was in February 1994 within the pages of Star Wars Adventure Journal 1, published by West End Games, and it later found a digital home on Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club in January 2008.
The story unfolds in the Gorkin's Rest cantina situated on Wroona, where Dirk Harkness narrates the events that led to his involvement with the Alliance to Restore the Republic. This involvement was spurred by the death of his beloved, Chessa Dohhenty.
